Ralph A Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Let's see some top-drawer stuff. No Party Day or May Day badges, etc.Rare Earth only.
Ralph A Posted May 15, 2005 Author Posted May 15, 2005 Or this. The gauntlet has been thrown down, gents. Bring it on.
J Temple-West Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Not sure about being 'top-draw' but here are some unusual pieces..
Scowen Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Oooo, do we have a battle brewing...... Keep it civil guys CheersDon
Bob Hunter Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 The sheer number and variety of these badges must be staggering. Does anyone have and estimate of how many different kinds there are?
Ralph A Posted May 22, 2005 Author Posted May 22, 2005 (edited) I saw a number somewhere, but I can't remember what it was.Here's one more of them: Edited May 22, 2005 by Ralph A
Scowen Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 According to Robin Lumsden, in 1941 it was estimated that there were then 32,000 different designs of badge in circulation......CheersDon
Ralph A Posted May 28, 2005 Author Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Those are nice. See the sunwheel swastika motif buried in the design at the eagle's feet? Edited May 28, 2005 by Ralph A
Peter J Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Another endless tinnie-thread Ralph . Why not, this is eye-candy.Here are two odd pieces. The first is a struck, vaulted thingy with a nailattached in 90 degrees. It's marked on the reverse BERA?N (the N is mirrored) D?BRE(similar N)IEIU2. Perhaps it's been attached to a thickwalking stick?The 2nd one must be a conversion of some kind. The 4 pins on the anchorhas been removed and a needle-hinge has been attached to two plates,formed to fit the anchor. Any ideas on this one?KRPeter
